Students from the Higher Diploma in Multimedia Design and Technology program helped making the Hulu Culture “i-Tour” Sham Shui Po interactive heritage tour happens.

The i-Tour is an interactive iPad application, part of the H.A.D. Walk (short for Heritage, Art and Design Walk) project organized by local NGO Hulu Culture with funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Our students contributed, through the COOP Projects subject last year, to the design and development of video, interactive web content and various souvenir products for this meaningful activity.

The second ICID is looking at how interaction design is moving beyond human-computer interaction to creating delightful and responsible individual, social, and organizational experiences.

As innovators, we have the power to craft experiences that are not just delightful when navigating human lives in various contexts from digital navigation to organizational decision making, and social lives, but being sustainable, moral and ethical, or otherwise “responsible”. Despite its popularity, interaction design is either confined to digital culture or remains ambiguous when applied to a broader social and business context. ICID 2011 revisits its definition, language, approaches, and principles with respect to both rigour and intuition on how understanding the very fundamentals of interaction provides new opportunities for applying interaction design as a new approach to rather than a sub-discipline of design.

We would like to invite researchers, practitioners, educators and students to submit papers and case studies on delightful experiences and responsible design in interaction design. We believe that your contribution will not only enrich the knowledge on interaction design, but also include you in the shaping and developing interaction design in China and Asia as it is gaining its recognition in the region.

Please submit your extended abstract or full paper online. All extended abstract submissions must be made by Wednesday 27 April 2011, together with author names, affiliations and contact details. Detailed guidelines for submitting papers are available on the conference website http://www.icidconference.com/papers.html.

We look forward to your participation in ICID 2011: Delight and Responsibility and hope to see you here in Hong Kong in November.
